The film

The film ‘Khanabadosh- a nomad in spirit and in reality’ is a personal journey through the memories and art of the mother-daughter duo: Ajeet Caur, the writer and Arpana Caur, the painter. It deals with their historical and political trauma of the Partition, the anti-Sikh riots, the feeling of being a ‘refugee’ in their own country and how they choose to express it through their different art forms.

The film traces the personal histories of these artists and places them in a larger socio-political context. The stories of Ajeet Caur and Arpana Caur are essentially about 1947 and 1984 incidents, yet they resonate even in incidents of contemporary times.
